I wasn’t feeling the holiday spirit yesterday, as I was going about trying to get everything ready for our thanksgiving feast, but once I sat down with the girls and we started to eat and talk and laugh I finally felt it. The joy of just being a family and having a wonderful feast and good time spent together. It isn’t in the preparation but in the sitting down and enjoying each other company that I felt the holiday spirit. Life is for the living and while we do have to prepare we also need to live life. and in that find the joy of the company we keep.

I am trying to get in to the holiday spirit for the kids if nothing else. Even with the madness and insanity that was my family in getting prepared. I have a very strong connection to thanksgiving. This year I am just not feeling it though. I m going through the motions, I have cooked the pies, and I am cooking ham and turkey so the girls can have their drumsticks. Going to have the feast in all its glory and even trying to get the girls to make cards for their family that is far away. In my heart though I am just not feeling the feeling of good will and happiness. I pray that this will just be for this year and that the future years I will feel the spirit and convey to my girls the joy of friendship and family for the thanksgiving holiday
